"Arrow" - Exit 'Felicity Smoak'

Canadian actress Emily Bett Rickards, signed on as a one-episode guest star on The CW's "Arrow" before becoming a 7-season regular, will not return for the final season of the DC Comics live-action adaptation, according to 'heartbroken' "Arrow" executive producer Greg Berlanti:

Rickards announced her departure with a lyrical message online:

"The time has come to talk of many memes. Of bows and arrows and superheroes and 'Olicity' and 'Queens'.And why 'TGA' is so damn hotAnd yes, canaries need more scenes... "But wait just one minutebefore we go and do all thatFor this makes me out of breathTo have this not small chat...

"'Felicity' and Iare a very tight twoBut after one through sevenwe will be saying goodbye to you

"I thank you all for the time we've sharedThe elevators we have climbedThe monsters we have faced and scaredAnd The burgers we have dined..."I will keep her in my heart for alwaysAnd I hope that you can tooBecause she would not be alive if it weren't for all of you
